[ DAY 4 ]
It is noon.

The TVs turn on to static, and the creatures start to attack.

Each monster when killed has a chance of dropping a random item, or a special item: Energy & 5 Fish Scales. Not every kill will drop something, but more likely than not it will drop at least some Energy.

[ ooc: Hi guys! We're testing out something new this week. Please comment in this post to fight the aggressive, Energy-dropping monsters out and about in Asper today! This in lieu of a whole new post for every person who wants to play out their character collecting items/Energy. Thank you. ]

	[ Even without being able to see a TV, Golbez can easily tell when the hour has started, as the monsters start to swarm. After practically keeling over yesterday, he's armed himself with an axe he found at the fire department. That should provide at least some alternative to wasting his magic. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Right away! [ it tilts its head and nearly topples over from the weight of its flask. There's a small group of puppycats a little distance away, and its eyes flash as a psychic storm grows in their midst and begins to lay crackling yellow and purple waste to everything around it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ At first he's concerned it won't be able to carry its weight on its own, but it seems to be managing. So he goes back to fighting, keeping Blende's location in mind as he does. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Fang would be lying if she didn't say that she'd been waiting for this all morning. Relaxing is fine and all, but there's something about the noise that a blade made when it cut into something, that is invigorating, and Fang has spent most of the morning looking for suitable weapons to substitute for her lance. She ended up finding a pole that Lightning had been using to better train some of the new found inhabitants, and strapped some knives to the end. It was makeshift, but it would do.

It doesn't take her long to run out to the front of Mercy apartments, her bloodthirst pretty obvious for those who saw her. She spots Golbez, and pulls the spear from her back, swiping it around to the nearest puppycat, who howled in pain at the two slashes across it's side it's now sporting.]

Heh. Y'need a hand?

[ Well-- that's certainly one way to make a lance. This must be the same woman he'd spoken with on the radio the previous night; her accent is a distinctive one. And, he notices, she hadn't just been boasting about her strength. ]

Yes, thank you.

[ He doesn't waste any more words than are necessary, instead directing his weapon and magic to the oncoming horde. ]

[Fang wasn't about to boast her weapon making skills--the makeshift spear was no where near as powerful as her own lance, and they were fathoms apart in being pretty to look at. But, Fang doesn't have time to be picky, so it will do.]

No sweat.

[and into the fray she goes, being pretty reckless with her fighting style. She's getting right up close to the puppycats, and taking damage too.]

	[ Golbez tries his best to draw the enemies' attention, but it's not as effective as it should be. Still, it should take some of the burden off of Fang, and he can handle himself. More or less. Plus, seeing the energy dropping from the ones they kill is a great motivator. Not much longer... Not much longer and this will be over for today. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

Whether the others living in the bookshop want to go out, Rat's already out and luring a few smaller puppycats into alleyways as the televisions start to spit static. They follow the robotic mice easily enough - hey, there aren't any other moving creatures around for them to chase - and that means Rat can attack with them distracted. Minimum risk.

Of course, the mice aren't programmed to find puppycats exclusively, so they might home in on a humanoid or two instead.

Sollux's arrival was signal by a blast of blue and red light clearing a wide swath of the beasts, seemingly effortlessly. A couple of them got back up, only to be greeted by a second, smaller blast. He replaced his sunglasses, and floated down the road toward Rat.

Of course, it's not like he resembled the average human. So when the mice approached, he just looked down at them impassively. "What the fuck ith thith thit."

	One squeaked, closed its eyes with the sound of a tiny shutter clicking, and transmitted a grainy image back to the mouse still in Rat's pocket. "That's my question." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It wouldn't do you any good to attack me, no matter what I look like." It doesn't really sound like a threat. Just a statement of fact. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Jade doesn't know the meaning of staying put. So of course she's out, running around, pulling Shion along when the TVs start to flash. That doesn't catch her attention so much as the swarm of monsters though. Her reactions all wrong. She sees the monsters, giggles, and announces to her companion "Uh oh! This looks bad!"

Shion wasn't happy about Rat fighting monsters all on his own, and as usual he hadn't even stopped to think when they had went out despite being told to stay where they were. Shion's eyes went wide at the monsters though, but he tried to stay calm, animals could sense fear.

"They look angry..." And sure enough on spotting them two of the monsters had started charging at them.

	"Get behind me, okay?" Jade asked, though it really wasn't a question-more of a command. She released her grip on Shion, and with the rise of her hand, the ground behind them began to rise, preventing any more of the creatures from sneaking up behind her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If there was one thing Shion had picked up from his time with Rat, it was to do what he was told quickly when someone who sounded like they knew what they were doing commanded it. It didn't mean he always followed instructions, but the ground moving behind him made him worried enough to do as he was told this time. "Watch out!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

In a move too fast to be human, Jade glided out of the way of the approaching beasts claws just in the nick of time. Framing the creatures with her fingers, she seeming effortlessly began to shrink one of them down to a smaller size, all the while darting around the other in a movement that seems more like a dance than a fight. The first is shrunk down to the size of a small rabbit before her foot comes down to crush its neck, the second shrunk down to an even smaller size.

She pinches up the second by the neck between her fingers, and lets out a giggle as she looks back to Shion. "It almost seems like a shame to kill it, doesn't it?"

	Shion's eyes are wide as she watches her fight, he has never seen anyone move that fast not even Rat. He is even more amazed when she shrinks the creatures, "How..." He looks at the creature still snarling and scrabbling despite being tiny. "It's cute!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dogtiered 2011-11-13 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Jade giggles again, giving an affirmative nod. "It is!" And then she lets out a shriek and an "Ow!" and drops the little monster. It cut her! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shion bends dow and scoops it up holding it away from him. "It might be cute but it's still a monster. Maybe we can train it!" Because he didn't want to kill it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
